“…More recently the structure “PerSPecTIF” (Perspective, Setting, Phenomenon of interest/ Problem, Environment, Comparison (optional), Time/ Timing, Findings) has been developed to extend QES question formulation to describe both the wider context and immediate setting, components that are particularly suited to qualitative evidence synthesis (Booth et al, 2019). Below is a worked example of PerSPecTIF (James, 2020) (Table 1) for a synthesis exploring provision of palliative care for people who are homeless or vulnerably housed from the perspective of the individuals themselves and those who care for them.…”

“…De plus, le taux de mortalité chez les PSI est de 3 à 4 fois supérieur à celui de la population générale et les gens vivant l'itinérance utilisent de 3 à 4 fois davantage les urgences comme porte d'entrée au système de santé alors que leur séjour hospitalier est d'une durée de 35 % plus longue que les gens avec un statut domiciliaire stable. Ces gens sont ainsi exposés à une mort « omniprésente », souvent prématurée, violente et traumatisante (2). Qu'en est-il de l'accès aux soins, et plus particulièrement aux soins palliatifs qui visent, selon l'organisation mondiale de la santé, l'amélioration de la qualité de vie en situation de maladie engageant le pronostic vital (8)?…”

“…Ces personnes meurent fréquemment seules, dans des conditions traumatiques et sont mal soulagées (11,12). La surexposition à la mort traumatique mène à des croyances uniques face à la fin de vie qui sont potentiellement négligées dans la littérature plus large sur les soins palliatifs (2). Alors que certaines personnes développent une acceptation fataliste de la mort, d'autres vivent dans la peur constante d'un décès imprévisible et désagréable (2).…”
